Unarranged

Chapter 10

Daniel and I woke up and did our morning rituals together instead of over the phone like we would normally do.

His parents and Dianna came a little later and we sat around in our living room.

I didn't get anything for Dianna's parents and they didn't get anything for me.

I handed Dianna her present, a little necklace with a heart and key charm.

She hugged me tightly and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

All this time I had forgotten that we were dating.

That I was with her and not Daniel.

I remembered the dimple on his left cheek when he smiled upside down and immediately tried to shake the thought from my head.

I handed Daniel his gift. He unwrapped the orange wrapping paper very carefully.

He gasped and ran towards me with his arms open for a hug. He threw himself on me and thanked me.

"Corey! You-! Stop. TV Girl? Lonely Woman? I love you so much." he got out as he threw himself back around me for a hug.

I saw my mother laugh at his reaction, the same as Daniels mother did.

He excitedly got up to go get a green present. I assumed it was for me. He handed me the package and bounced around until I opened it.

"Who Really Cares! That's my favorite TV Girl album. Oh my-. Thank you so much!" I stood up to reach him and gave him a huge hug.

He laughed lightly. "I love you too." I told him. He let go to study my face and then sat back down.

Dianna handed me her present as she waited impatiently for me to open it like Daniel had done.

It was a green bracelet. I wasn't much into jewelry but this thread bracelet was beautiful.

I put it on immediately.

She pulled up her sleeve to revel a matching yellow one.

"They're matching!" I exclaimed as I pulled her into a hug. I let go and kissed her on the cheek, as she had done to me.

A little later, Dianna's family got around to leave.

"See you." I told her as I hugged her and kissed her goodbye.

"Bye." she grinned at me.

"Bye, Daniel." I told him as he hugged me close.

"Bye, Corey." he said back.

***

I was laying in bed thinking about Daniel and how he said he loved me.

I loved him too.

I think that we meant different things though.

I loved him as a lover. He just loved me as a friend.

He probably only made out with me because I was there and not because he actually loved me.

I was so stupid to even think we had a chance. I had never even told Dianna I loved her before.

I was marrying her!

I hated that I knew these feelings for Daniel weren't going to go away anytime soon.

I fell asleep with him on my mind.

***

Corey needs a little bit more self confidence.
(Made out with his girlfriend's brother and thinks that the brother hates him? Crazy.)

Crazy.
